Singapore Diaries: Day 6 – The Singapore Dash

Today is my last day in Singapore, and I can’t help but feel sad about leaving this stunning island country that I’ve come to love during my visit. Even though I’ve done so much on this tiring trip, I refuse to waste any time on my final day. It’s time for the ultimate Singapore Dash!

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not talking about the Singapore Grand Prix, where cars race through the streets of Marina in September. I’m talking about exploring the attractions by foot I haven’t seen yet and revisiting the ones I absolutely must see again before saying goodbye.

Day six of my Singapore adventure was jam-packed from morning till night. I covered so much ground and saw so many incredible sights – it was indeed a whirlwind experience, hence the term “Singapore dash”.

Prepare for an adrenaline-fueled day of exploration and final memories in this fantastic city-state. Let’s make the most of this last day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Singapore Diaries: Day 6  – The Singapore Dash

As the final day of my Singapore trip approached, I felt a mix of excitement and slight panic. There were still so many things I wanted to see and experience in this fantastic city! The Singapore Dash became my theme for the day as I rushed from one attraction to the next, determined to fit everything in.

 

 

Experience the beauty of Labrador Park.

Discover the hidden gem of Labrador Park, nestled in the Southern Part of Singapore just a stone’s throw away from Sentosa Island. This charming nature reserve offers a refreshing escape from the city’s bustling streets.

During World War II, Labrador Park served a crucial role in defence as a fortress for the British Army. Today, remnants of that history can still be seen with the gun batteries scattered throughout the reserve, standing as powerful reminders of a bygone era.

Stroll along the picturesque coastline, where you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of a bustling port surrounded by cargo ships. Or, venture down the pier and witness local fishermen casting their lines in the designated fishing areas of Labrador Park.

Labrador Park is the perfect destination whether you’re searching for tranquillity, a glimpse into history, or a peaceful retreat. Immerse yourself in its natural beauty and let the stresses of the city melt away.

 

 

 

 

 

A Magnificent Stroll by Keppel Bay

When you head east from Labrador Park, you’ll embark on a breathtaking stroll along the Bukit Chermin Boardwalk. As you walk, you’ll pass the magnificent Reflections by the Bay and other luxurious apartments in Keppel Bay.

This is one of the most lavish walks you can experience worldwide. You’ll find yourself in awe of the stunning apartments, perhaps even feeling a touch of envy. And if that isn’t enough, you’ll soon come across multi-million-dollar yachts. At that moment, you may even dream of owning such a magnificent vessel as you pass the Capricornia Cruising Yacht Club.

Keppel Bay is truly the playground of millionaires.

 

 

 

The Marina Bay

During my third day in Singapore, I decided to explore one side of Marina Bay, which led me to the awe-inspiring Gardens by the Bay. On the sixth day, I felt it was time to venture to the opposite side of the Marina.

I started my journey from Suntec City and walked a few hundred meters straight to the Singapore Flyer. While I didn’t want to pay the thirty-dollar fee to experience the panoramic view of the city from the Flyer, I could understand why so many tourists enjoy it.

From there, I made my way to another notable attraction, a section of the circuit used for the famous Singapore Grand Prix. This stretch is popular for walking, with an impressive grandstand on one side and breathtaking city views on the other. A floating soccer field is nearby, although it could use some maintenance.

As I continued my stroll along Marina Bay, I took my time, not feeling rushed at all. I even wished that time could stand still for a moment so I could fully appreciate the surrounding views. The scenery became more magnificent as I reached Merlion Park, a well-known landmark in Singapore. Tourists flocked to the park to capture a picture of the iconic Merlion statue with the backdrop of Marina Bay Sands.

Singapore truly is a destination that keeps on surprising and delighting me.

The Singapore Dash –  Getting to where I need to be

On day six in Singapore, I revisited some familiar places. Although I’ll provide a brief mention here, you can find more detailed descriptions in previous editions of my Singapore Diaries.

First, I stopped by Vivo City, a vast shopping mall and the main gateway to Sentosa Island. While there, I enjoyed a delicious Korean lunch.

Next, I headed to Sentosa Island. Although I didn’t have as much time as before, I still walked on the boardwalk and took in the sights.

After that, I visited Suntec City, another shopping mall surrounded by impressive buildings. It was nice to explore, and I was particularly impressed by the monumental Fountain of Wealth in the centre of Suntec City.

Lastly, I went to Clarke Quay to observe the area and watch the ferries go by. For my final dinner in Singapore, I chose The Fremantle Seafood, a riverside restaurant. The service was a bit slow, but the food was delicious.

Overall, my sixth day in Singapore was a mix of revisiting familiar places and enjoying new experiences.

All in all, the trip to Singapore was one that I will never forget. From the vibrant cityscapes of downtown Singapore to the serenity and tranquillity of Gardens by The Bay, there is something for everyone here.

I was dazzled by its captivating beauty and amazed at how modern and progressive this city-state is, with every area bustling with life. On our last day, as we made our way to Changi Airport for a return flight home, it sunk in how much I had experienced during this one week in Singapore – and what it ended up leaving me with was an urge to go back again quite soon!

To everyone looking for their next international adventure, give Singapore a go; you won’t regret it. It is a place unlike any other.
